You can make a mosaic which yields 5 bags each of 4 colors and 6 bags of
the last color. All you need is 361 pixels of each of the first 4
colors, and 492 pixels of the last color. If you want to make sure to
avoid the "off by 1 error" you can do 369 pixels each of the first 4
colors leaving 460 pixels of the last color.
However, when I made my life time supply of 1x1 plates picture, I just
settled for 25 bags.
What would be nice is if they would just give the 5 bags of each color
package a set number so we could all easily order it. It could even come
with a small booklet of pictures doable with it (it's probably not too
hard to tweak a bunch of pictures so they are doeable.
Of course I suppose those wanting to use the plates for balast for their
train layouts wouldn't mind ordering the 5 simple 26 bag pictures since
they could easily use that many 1x1 plates (of course they might not
bother ordering the white pictureif they didn't feel a need to have
white plates).
